Decaying - The Pacific lyrics

The Combined Fleet now destroyed Torn to bits After the Battle Of Leyte Gulf Heavy casualties The Imperial Navy is no more Once ruler of the sea All the power is now gone Once occupied were the islands in the Philippines US forces grab them all The general staff is left hopelessly to watch All the former glory with force taken away Fighting for a piece land on Iwo Jima Mount Suribachi offers an element of surprise The thirtyfive day struggle for the ultimate goal Japanese fought on, down to their bitter end Inflicting huge damage, thousands take hit Bodies beyond numbering, the fierce loyality binds The typhon of steel commencing, a smell of rotting flesh The back bone of aerial bombardment Okinawa turns into a gory mess Ma** suicides among the population Banzai charges with a battle cry The last resort, using kamikaze strikes This new tactic put on use in which bushido strickly binds During the war Midway marked a turning point But now the burden of invading the mainland, nothing obliges Ryuichi Tamura - Withered Leaves: "and They died without even shedding green Blood Before they return to the soil They change to the color of soil The color of The silence that has died one d**h Why does everything Seem transparent even though we walked endlessly Through the border of day and night Through the withered leaves A man Whose star is fixed Does not turn back"
